Short Interview with oGsMC, the winner of GSL Open Season 3
Original Post (In korean):
http://www.playxp.com/sc2/news/view.php?article_id=2464681
Q: First, your thoughts/feelings on winning GSL?
A: It felt good when I realized I had won, but I only really realized it once I got my hands on the trophy.
Q: Your tournament win came after transitioning from Pro-gamer status. Your thoughts on that?
A: I think all the hyungs (older teammates) will be very envious of me.
Q: This was the first GSL win for Protoss. Your thoughts?
A: I believe my win showed that [Protoss] can be powerful when its units are used to their maximum potential.
I have 10+ builds I can use against Terran.
I plan on showing much more powerful builds next season.
Q: Your plans on using the prize money?
A: I had this planned before the Final.
10k will be given to team, 10k to myself and the rest to my mother. (currency value may not be accurate)
Q: What makes you so confident?
A: My high winning ratio during practice makes me confident. If I was to lose a lot [during practice], I wouldn't have this kind of confidence.
Q: What are your plans 'till next season?
A: Since I have other tournaments scheduled, I don't have any time to rest.
I need to practice for the tournaments I received invitation to.
Q: There wasn't any showing of using Warp Prism prior to your Finals. Do you think your game will have influence on other Protoss players?
A: 2nd set went in a direction that was not planned by me.
Terran player doing tank oriented build cannot match the mobility of Warp Prism.
That's the reason I used Warp Prism, for its mobility.
When I watch other Protoss games, I feel that their understanding of Terran match up is low.
I cannot reveal my own know-how, but once they understand it, victory will come a lot easier.
Q: Was your proxy gateway in 4th set planned?
A: I used proxy gate as I had confidence in my micro control.
I believe TsLRain's cheese rush is very powerful.
Proxy gate was my way of showing confidence.
Q: We were anticipating some kidn of ceremony, but did not see any. Do you regret not doing it?
A: It was difficult to do ceremonies.
I did not know the timing when Camera goes on me.
I plan on studying cameras so I can do my ceremony at the right timing.
Q: You had bad results in prior seasons, but you were able to take the tournament this season.
What sort of change made that possible?
A: Because I began committing to SC2 not even a month after I announced my transition, I had low level of understanding of the game.
I thought it would be difficult even to get past the preliminary rounds.
In season 2 I joined up oGs Clan, and I grew with every defeat against NesTea.
Looking back, those games vs. Nestea allowed me to grow.
To be honest, I wanted to face Nestea in the final this season.
Q: Any regrets on transitioning to SC2 from BW?
A: It is very difficult as a B team player [in BW].
As they have [SC2] tournaments every month, you get A team player treatment once you make it to round of 16.
In the past, it was hard not having teammates, but such problem went away after joining oGs clan.
It was the right choice.
Q: Your goal for the future?
A: My goal is to become the world champion on world [SC2] league.
I wish to become the first player to win consecutive seasons.
I plan on getting good results on various tournaments next year.
I wish to become a gamer that everyone remembers.
I don't believe one win cuts it. I have plans on doing ceremonies that will have people remember me.

man does he have some confidence.I totally meant that in a good way.
|
10+ builds O_O ok may be exaggerated (Jinro tell us!) but still he's confident and has different builds :O Man I hope he gets his success because I so want to see his ceremonies :D
|
MC owns, i just love how he is cocky in a funny way that is not really bad mannered

Why is it that every korean gamer who wins a big sum of money, says that he will give most of it to his parents. Aren't they a capitalist country? They should know how to spend/invest money on their own.

It's the culture in Asia. Family, especially parents, are extremely important.

MC is only 19. hes still a kid so i dont think it's unwise to give his money to someone who will probably take better care of it.

they respect their parents
and that is kind of a payback for every good thing their parents did to them

hands down the best Korean interview in SC2 so far, i will read this many times
|
They live with their families longer in asian cultures, so he respects them and will give them his money O.o that's just how things work. Most western people would do the same actually.
Anyway, MC really was the best player, he destroyed all terrans and made PvT look imba considering most P just lose to some marauder push, it was awesome to watch I'm glad he finally won.

ditto. Its somewhat a tradition to give your first paycheck (or at least a part of it) to your parents as a way of saying thanks for bringing you up (food, shelter, care, love, education,etc.etc.).

Congratulations!
Protoss Fighting!!!
I'm really impressed by him
+ Show Spoiler +Now I can't wait to hear all the QQ about how Protoss must be nerfed because Protoss won- the common non sequitur for any race and tournament -.-'

Its called filial piety mate. Its a big thing in Asia, a culture thing.
Now eagerly awaiting for the Terran meister to reveal himself in 2011. Will it be MVP? He's kinda disappointing though, going out so early to Choya.

I dunno man.. Where i live, a better way of saying thanks for all that to your parents if you make that kind of money is to develop a nice hobby of snorting cocaine and getting acquainted with half the brothels and erotic massage parlors in the city. I think it pretty much defines the term baller.

Confucianism is deeply rooted in societies of east asia. As someone mentioned already, filial piety (respect that a child should show to his/her parents) is one of the most important and stressed aspect of the philosophy.

He really showed us how good he is in that lost temple game.And he's so confident!

Cool. I imagined it's a tradition thing, didn't know there's an actual philosophy wrapped around it though. Learned something new today, thanks.

Good mindset. I really believe that being so confident can give you a great edge in tournaments. I like his honesty and he seems to be realistic and analytical. He said he wasn't that good - then he trained and improved.
I am glad to see a protoss win GSL 3 nad I believe that PvT will see a lot of dynamic in hte future.
